From one state border to another, Virtua is expanding its health care footprint across the state. The Marlton-based hospital system announced Monday a partnership with a Ramsey ambulatory surgical center.

Ramapo Valley Surgical Center will join the extensive Virtua managed care network as part of the partnership, marking the seventh ambulatory care center to partner with Virtua, and the first in the northern part of the state.

Ramapo Valley is a multi-specialty facility, with services in ophthalmology, orthopedics, pain management and general surgery.

“Partnering with Ramapo Valley Surgical Center aligns well with Virtua’s strategic plan to prepare for an overall system of health care that decentralizes from hospital care to outpatient care,” said Richard P. Miller, president and CEO of Virtua, in prepared remarks.
